Default Can anyone identify my Cab?

Hi
I'm resubmitting the subject as the original was lost after the site went down.

Can anyone identify my Cab?

I'm restoring a C15 fitted with a Holden Cab.
The cab is about a foot longer than a C13 and doesn't appear to have been modified.

The cab has a holden data plate.

The rear cab mount is attached to the second last rail.

I would attach a photo but they are a bit big.

Thank
Geoff

If you like Geoff, email me the photo and I'll resize and attach*.

*note -- this is not a general service, but in consideration for a new member whose identity and thread were wiped, I'm happy to do it...

Default PMG crew cab??

What does the upper part of the cab look like? Could it be a PMG modified Crew Cab?

Bit of a mystery - The PMG cab I think was different to this one because not only did it have second crew doors it was also of coachbuilt construction - timber upper frame and steel panels.
Be interested to see other pictures.
Geoff, you can PM me too if you'd like me to put the pics on my site for display here.

Default unusual cab

I've seen something like this on a cab recovered from the Calm (forestry) workshops but not as "good" as this one. It also appears that the door is filled in. Kingcab?

Default another photo

Hi
I was told by the bloke I bort the blitz from that it came from Lord Howe Island.

It has had a rebuild before.

The cab has been rebuild in Aluminium by somone who knew what he /she was doing.

Attached is a Photo. I figured out how to make them smaller.

Cheer

Geoff

Default Cab

Geoff, it looks like a custom built job, especially now you mention it's been done in aluminium, probably a necessity on Lord Howe Island.
Nice job though. Probably worth hanging onto if you can find another cab to restore.
